AST and silicone hoses advance

[Devil's Refugee]

Got 2 questions;

1) Replacing the AST, is it as simple as it looks ? Just whack in a new one or do I have to worry about pinching off the connecting hoses whilst doing it ?

2) Thinking of replacing the aging rats nest hoses with some silicon tubing, what diameter do I need, and how much (in terms of length) should I be looking at ?

1) As far as I know & refill it
2) I bought 40' of 4mm and 15' of 6mm

I replaced everyhose on the car and had enough left to do half the job again :)

devil iv just finished doing my nest took about 4 foot of hose.
only done the smaaler pipes t enow though as going to wait until i have to take engine apart before attempting the rest

pop into my work ive got a HUGE plan of the pipes and i mean HUGE LOL
if you want to do it yourself

as for the ast i think its just remove and install should`nt get too much water loss

or once again come see me ive got a very handy tool the works by vacum and sucks all the air out of system.

Could Mazda have made it any more complex lol !
No wonder peeps go single or at least non-sequential

Mikey, cheers mate, will arrange something once I (finally) get the car !
